Yes, it is steep. That's the going TW rate here in the boonies of monopolyville, and I'm pretty sure that's not the budget package. They probably have a cheaper (lower speed) option too, but since I telecommute, I need (well, ok...want) the faster package, and can justify it by not having to pay for gasoline to get to work.

AND...as a special bonus...they apparently can't/don't/haven't figured out how to block all the digital TV channels if you are an internet-only customer. Our digital tuner TV still gets 6-8 channels...in both SD and HD. Not that I've watched any of them for more than an hour or so since we cut our TV service and went internet-only in 2010. YMMV...
